This is very disturbing. I can relate to the article fully, but I didn’t think it was this widespread. I mean 73 percent… It is so sad.
We (and the music industry and society) have to look out for each other. I don’t have any particular idea on solving this mass depression, but I just wanted to highlight:
- You are not alone
- We need to care!
- Something needs to be done to turn this development around?!
I thought there should be a place to talk about this, maybe not this exact thread (or why not?), but somewhere.
I only know I have seriously thought about discouraging my future children of venturing in to the industry because of the risks of mental unhealth that comes with it…
